About: I have taken care of many different dogs in my neighborhood for over 5 years. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as multiple dogs at a time. I also live with several pets at home, including a dog and two guinea pigs. I am currently in college and taking classes in the mornings Monday through Thursday. I am free to take care of pets in the afternoons or any time on the weekends I make sure that dogs in my care are given at least two walks a day, as well as exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I also adapt my care to each dog's needs and owner requests.
“We had an amazing experience with Melissa! She stayed in our home for a week with our two dogs, one of whom has severe anxiety. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, gave him the space he needed, carefully read his body language, and earned his trust. She was reliable with his daily medications and patient in helping him feel comfortable. Our home was left spotless and respected, and it was clear she treated both our dogs and our space with great care. She even surprised us with a kind and thoughtful gesture at the end of the stay, which meant so much to our family. We are so grateful to have found her and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional sitter!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”
“Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!”
“Andrea was extremely friendly and accommodating as a first time Rover user, and she took great care of my 3 cats. She was awesome with communication throughout the time she was house sitting, and sent me pictures/updates regularly. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch the boys again soon!”
“Douglas was great with our dog Tigressa! He kept us updated with photos and was super easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.
“Deloris is amazing. My dog instantly loved her during their Meet & Greet and fell more in love during her stay. Deloris took great care of my girl (and house 🙂). She checked in, sent pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her services again! 😊”
About: I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, including cats, puppies and elderly dogs with medical needs. In addition to providing day-to-day care like walks and drop-ins, I have experience with long-term housesitting. I prioritize communication with my clients and love sending photos and updates so you can be sure your loved one is well cared for! I’m currently taking classes online and volunteering at a shelter every so often, so I’m fully free anytime with enough notice! I aim to get out and walk as much as possible, I’d be happy to take your puppy along with me. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority, I will make sure they are cared for and loved like they were my own.
“Hana was superb for our short notice overnighter. She was on time, communicative, and I would never have even known she was at the house. We will definitely be keeping her in mind in the future!”
“Erica was fantastic. She took care of our pups & cat when we went to our son's wedding. The pups were happy and well cared for, and Erica kept us posted. No stress - she was great!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since childhood and been a dog parent for 9+ years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me for walks, play, and dependable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop‑ins, and playtime, and I adjust to your pet’s schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care I give my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and maintain a clean, respectful environment during every visit
“Deborah watched our dogs and cats over the 4th of July. She was absolutely amazing our fur babies loved her and all the attention she gave them! I loved that she kept us updated with photos and updated the entire weekend. Deborah is a rare fine and we came home to super happy fur babies which made our vacation so much more enjoyable we are are soo happy !!! Thank you ! SHE IS THE BEST!”
“Stephanie was Ahmazing! She took great care of my fur baby and spent a ton of time interacting with him. She sent photos and updates and was flexible when the start/end time changed slightly. I will definitely be calling upon Stephanie in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Whether they’re puppies or seniors I’ll make sure they’re taken care of and loved while you’re away. I work part time as a swim coach so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your babies. I’ll work any day out of the week. I have a fenced in backyard where they love to play around, I take them on daily walks around the neighborhood , and feed them twice a day
“She’s definitely great! Very attentive to my cat. Came twice a day and played with him, feed him and made sure his litter was changed. Will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!”
“Paige was amazing with our dogs! She sent us tons of pictures and was in communication with us the entire time she was with our pups. Paige could definitely tell how nervous I was to leave my pups with someone new and she helped ease my fears through this whole process. She was a respectful house guest and left our home neat and tidy. My pups love her and so do we. Will be booking all my future Rovers with her!!”
Montclair pet parents share their Rover experiences
We will always have Xiomara watch our dog and cat as long as she’s available, she is incredible. She sends constant updates, pictures, videos, and my dog LOVES her. So does our cat. She is such a wonderful person and she leaves our place sparkling clean. Having peace of mind about our precious animals makes traveling a thousand times more enjoyable. Thank you so much Xiomara ❤️
I had a wonderful experience with Mary P and Zamiya watching my pup, Maddie, and house sitting. From start to finish, there was consistent communication making my trip completely stress free. I was sent daily pictures of Maddie, along with updates that showed they were paying close attention to her routine and personality. Upon my return, the house was tidy and Maddie was calm, and happy. I could tell that Maddie was treated with kindness and love. I would absolutely book them again, highly recommend!
I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!
Taylor did a great job house sitting for our energetic puppy and 3 cats. She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of our house and pets. She even taught our puppy to sit while we were away! Our pup is still working on potty training and Taylor was up to the challenge and cleaned up her accidents without an issue. I would definitely recommend Taylor for house sitting and plan to rebook with her in the future!
We are so thankful for Carleigh! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about his comfort and routine. Our dog was anxious about us leaving at first, but Carleigh was incredibly patient and kind with him while he adjusted. She sent regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Carleigh to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
Caitlin did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
Isabella was great with my pitty. She stayed at our townhouse for 2 nights and even emptied my trashcan, stripped off the guest room sheets, and ran the dishwasher before she left. So helpful!!! She would also send me daily updates of my dog and he seemed to really love her! Will definitely book her again.
I Emily was excellent. Would recommend her highly! She should get 7 stars instead of only 5. Our dog was well cared for and we were well informed of what was going on during the week, especially photos we were sent Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would use her again in a heartbeat
John Paul did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and ensuring our house was still standing during our time away. He was very attentive to our pets needs, followed every instruction, and sent us frequent photos of our fur kids to let us know how well everything was going! We cannot wait to ask for his assistance again in the future, and we know our little guys will be super excited to have him back anytime!
